xorg-server -- privilege escalation

Description:

Daniel Stone of X.Org reports:

During the analysis of results from the Coverity code review
of X.Org, we discovered a flaw in the server that allows local
users to execute arbitrary code with root privileges, or cause
a denial of service by overwriting files on the system, again
with root privileges.
